BACKGROUND:
Stormwater management and the City's storm sewer system are key components in addressing flooding and protecting property. As the City's system continues to age and be modified, analysis of problem areas is needed. For example, the City has seen an increase in the frequency of certain neighborhoods being inundated by short-term, high-intensity rainfall events. While the top priority will remain to keep stormwater out of homes, modifications to the system can be made to reduce the depth, duration, and frequency of stormwater in streets and yards.
Staff will also use the consultants to prepare and submit documents to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Army Corps of Engineers and DuPage County, such as flood map letters of revision and complex permits. We will also look to the consultants for assistance and their experience in using new technologies to leverage the most out of the City's stormwater management system.
In March 2024, the Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group issued RFQ 23-248, Stormwater Management Engineering Services, to select a shortlist of qualified and experienced consulting firms to provide engineering services for storm water management and special management area projects. This shortlist is intended to supplement internal staff resources to develop innovative and cost-effective flood reduction solutions to reduce the impact of short-term, high intensity rainfall events.
